I remember when I was a young lieutenant in the USMC in Hawaii (FICPAC, Fleet Intelligence Center Pacific) in the 70s, I was unmarried and so got the Christmas Eve duty. We used to get messages...

Who? Reporters/newscasters? I agree.:yikes:

I found a mouse nest under my seat a few days ago, even with mothballs in small bags around the Spyder (it's outside in a Bike Barn).:banghead: They were using fur from my sheepskin/gel seat pad for...

Thanks, everybody, for the help! I love this place!:bowdown:

I got a new Deltran BT+ (decided to go whole hog), and it seems to have solved the problem. Strangely enough, the instruction sheet was...

I don't see how. I just plugged all the connectors into each other, and they're the standard connectors with one socket and one exposed plug so they can only be connected one way. I'm going to...

Sorry, but I don't understand your first sentence. Can you dumb it down?

I did try it without the extension cord (see my original post), and the indicator light still flashed amber, just like it...

I was reading the recent battery tender threads, and I decided to try the 12V adaptor mentioned by several people. It arrived today, and I tried hooking it up, but without success. The adaptor is by...

USMC 1976-1996. We were taught to salute with the longest finger just touching the end of the eyebrow, fingers together and straight with the hand, thumb at the side and touching. You were uncovered...

Is he gonna be in MY bathroom or YOURS?nojoke :banghead:

This happened to me awhile ago, and I did a search here to look for help. I found an old thread called "What if seat doesn't release to open and fuel" that had a bunch of information, including how...

I suspected it was the battery. I'm going to have the pigtails for the battery tender attached when I have the new battery put in, so hopefully that will fix it.:pray:

Every once in awhile, after I hit the mode button as usual and then start my 2012 RTS SE5, the screen will flash and go back to the beginning, i.e., it tells me to press the mode button. The engine...

As I understand it, the vaccination makes it less likely you'll get shingles (I forget the percentage) and then if you DO get it, it's less severe and of shorter duration. I THINK Medicare covers it,...

Abolish prisons? So what do they suggest doing with the criminals? Oh, wait, racist me, I forgot. There are no criminals, only po' victims of the mean old system. We'll just hug the murderers and...

Mine broke off at the same place a few days ago (2012 RTS). I bought a Scosche RMA900 replacement shorty antenna at Walmart ($8.95), unscrewed the old base, screwed in the adaptor and the new...

Bellatrix.

I read a book a long time ago that said there were two kinds of people in the world. (1) Those who worried about everything and prepared ways to deal with the problems that might happen. They got...

That's what I was afraid of. Dunno what I'm gonna do when they get around to my stretch of road again. I HATE that stuff, even in my car or walking. They don't sweep the loose stuff off here, either....

I have a proactive question. I've read the cautions about riding on gravel and especially on the gravel-asphalt mixture that they put on roads that is loose to start with and is supposed to be tamped...

All very true; the blame can be on either or both sides. I'm just curious whether someone can say "I didn't see the motorcycle" and walk away with nothing more than possibly a higher insurance...

After reading about the unfortunate recent accident and others, I've decided to ask a question that's been bothering me.

When these so-called "distracted" drivers cause an "accident" that hurts or...

It's actually #41-179. I just ordered one. Thanks! :bowdown:

From what Judge Jeanine said on Fox News, because open carry is apparently legal, the only way to do that would be to pass a new law or declare martial law, and he can't do the first and doesn't have...

A TARDIS.

(Shhhh! Don't tell. It's disguised as a Volvo XC60.)

I was stationed in Hawaii twice, once as a 2nd/1st lieutenant and again as a captain/major (USMC). I absolutely loved it. Now, as an old fartess, I'd love to go back to live there:pray:, but I...

I shift into 4th at about 58, and I haven't used 5th yet (no freeway riding). I've been trying to keep her above 5000 rpm, so I don't shift if it will fall far below that. Downshifting, I have to go...

Thanks! In 2nd and 3rd, is it bad to have it at the high end, near or above 6,000, for any length of time? Once or twice, when I was paying attention to traffic instead of the rpms, I ran it to 7000...

I've had my RTS SE5 for 2.5 months now, and I've gotten comfortable with the high rpms, etc. I manage to keep it above 5,000 at regular speeds, in either 3rd or 4th gear, depending on the speed, and...

I had the same problem; there's more of a smear than a distinct line on the dipstick. Someone on another thread suggested inserting and wiping the dipstick 3 or 4 times before reading it, and I found...

I ran over a decent size turtle with my back wheel the other day. Quite a crunch, but at least they're encased so don't make a mess on the tire. Made me sad, though.:(
